Letter: Thanks for puppet show

Published Friday, February 06, 2004

Editor: On Jan. 17, I attended the Aesop's Fables Puppet show with my grandchildren. I want to publicly express my appreciation to the St. Johns County library system and the St. Johns County commissioners for bringing this outstanding musical puppet show to our city. I also appreciate Flagler College for hosting the performance in its beautiful auditorium.

The puppet show was an entertaining performance of Aesop's Fables, including "The Dinosaur and the Ant." These bigger than life-sized puppets brought an enjoyment and appreciation for the enchantment, wonder and love of the art of puppetry. They also reinforced our core values. The children and adults in the audience were spellbound by this wonderful performance.

At a time when there are many controversial subjects on TV and in movies, it is refreshing to have such an excellent performance in St. Augustine. In addition, there was no charge for the performance. I commend those involved in obtaining it. I only wish the auditorium had been full to capacity.
